jillybean Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 3♠ is weak? Where are the ♥'s?I think you have to pass or bid 5♦ - pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Pass, that was not so hard. I'm worried that partner will double, then I have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well, I don't have a problem at all. Dbl myself :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 double looks dangerous, I might do it in the end, but I am not happy about it. Depends on who my partner is (Dad for example would never leave this double without solid trump stack such as QJ10x) With a random partner I bid 4♦ and live another day.

helene_t Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Have to bid something. My first thought was 4♥ but that is probably crazy. 4♦ then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Pass really seems clear to me. This hand is not very strong at all, partner couldn't make a negative double, where am I going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Doubling REALLY threatens to have partner leave this in. My partner doubled in a spot like this the other day and caught me with A1087x of trumps... -980. Bidding diamonds on any level really overstates the value of my hand. Anything else is right out. Once you have eliminated the impossible, what remains must be the truth. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Agree that Pass is completely obvious. Double IMO is ridiculous - double should show a strong hand with short spades, happy for partner to pass with spade length and a balanced hand. If I was forced to do something other than pass, it would be 4♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 My first thought was 4♥ but that is probably crazy. Certifiably insane, if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
